What's next?
It's a distraction!
As you and Derek agonize over whether or not to blow Maya away, the two of you are startled as a powerful, musclebound crimson arm smashes up through the wood floorboards of the pier and grabs Kristen by the leg. The teen girl screams and grabs onto Jake. Jake in turn grabs ahold of Kristen and tries desperately to keep her from being pulled away.
You and Derek turn and fire through the floorboards, trying to hit the submerged incubus Mick who's no doubt underneath the pier, less injured than you initially thought. Unfortunately, it's not enough. The floorboards underneath Kristen collapse as she is pulled with terrifying **** through them, the teen girl letting loose a horrifying scream as she is wrenched out of Jake's grip and dragged into the black waters of the lake below.
Hearing the clicking of talons on wood behind you, you and Derek turn just in time as Maya strides up behind you. Derek tries to bring up his gun to aim at the approaching succubus, but Maya is already too close and too quick and swats it out of his grasp. Without time to lever another round into the chamber of your rifle, you instead swing it like a club, catching the demonic temptress into the face with the wood stock. This stuns the demoness long enough for Derek to kick her away, sending her sprawling across the pier and over the edge into the water below.
"Come on, run!" you yell at your remaining human companions. Amanda and Derek quickly follow behind you.
Jake remains stunned, staring at the hole in the floor where Kristen was standing only moments ago. "Wait, what about Kristen?!" he yells, still shocked at the sudden loss of his teen companion. Megan likewise is standing there speechless and stunned.
Amanda grabs her younger sister and pulls her along. "Come on, we have to go!"
"There's nothing more we can do for her, I'm sorry!" you yell at Jake. The young lad chokes and shakes his head as he regains his senses and starts running to catch up to you and the others.
You and your four remaining human companions rush away from the lake and back into the camp. Knowing that Mick, Maya, Warren, and Kristen are already lost, you lead the others over to your car to escape from your would-be refuge. To your surprise, you find the hood of your car has been smashed in almost all the way to the floor, your engine completely wrecked. It looks like one of the demons took the time to make sure you wouldn't be escaping by car.
Looking over across the parking lot, you notice that Warren's blueberry mini is still intact. Either Mick and Maya overlooked it, or Warren wrecked your car but didn't want to smash his own ride. In any case, it looks like Warren's car is now your best chance of getting out of here.
"Hey, do you know where Warren's keys are?" you ask Megan and Jake.
"They're probably in his room back at our cabin. Come on, I'll lead you there." Jake informs you. You notice that Jake is holding the pistol that Derek dropped, thankfully it seems the resourceful lad was able to retrieve it during your retreat from the pier.
"Here, you stay here and guard the car. We'll be back soon," you tell Derek and Amanda, handing Derek your rifle.
"I'm coming with you, Jake!" Megan calls out, clearly not wanting to be separated from her last remaining friend.
Amanda briefly looks like she's going to protest, but decides against it. "Just stay safe, Megs. Come back quickly!" she calls out tearfully to her sister.
Derek and Amanda take cover in the bushes near Warren's car, rifle at the ready, while you, Jake, and Megan quickly make your way to the cabin that Jake and Warren were using, with Megan lighting the way with her gas lantern.
